When it comes to good luck, celebrities seem to have an overabundance of it. The rich and famous are talented, beautiful, and live lifestyles that most of us can only dream of. As fortune’s favored children, we all wish that a little bit of their magic would rub off on us.
But is it down to coincidence or is there something more behind their amazingly good fortunes? Some celebrities seem to think so. Here are just a few of the A-list celebs who believe that rituals, quirks, and strange superstitions have a part to play!
Taylor Swift and the lucky number 13
We like to think we live in a logical world, but lots of us have a sneaking suspicion that there’s more going on than meets the eye. There are some things science can’t explain, which is why many of us have paid a visit to a psychic or opted to have our cards read. Indeed, practices like tarot reading have been around for centuries, with many claiming that they have an uncanny knack of helping them to unravel the future.
It seems Taylor Swift also assigns to this belief in the mysteries of the cosmos. According to her, she’s drawn to the number 13, which has frequently featured in the most pivotal moments of her life, from her birthday to the number of weeks it took for her first album to go gold. The singer even claims that every time she’s been in attendance at award shows, she’s been seated in the 13th row or even the 13th numbered seat.
Cameron Diaz and her anti-ageing necklace
Another celebrity who has a belief in the mystical is Cameron Diaz. Known to frequent psychics, the A-list actress also wears a 'lucky necklace', which she believes has mysterious anti-ageing qualities. The pretty horseshoe-shaped pendant is frequently pictured around the Charlie Angel’s star’s neck, and judging by her age-defying appearance, we can’t deny that there might be something in it!
Jennifer Aniston and her pre-flight ritual
As one of the most well-known actresses in the world, our favorite Friend’s starlet also seems like one of fortune’s favored ones, but she still doesn’t like to take her chances before take-off. Speaking to the Daily Mail, Jennifer once revealed that she has a rather odd pre-flight ritual: she has to step on with her right foot first and tap the exterior of the aircraft for luck. Considering how many jet-setting miles she has under her belt, we doubt she'll be giving it up any time soon.
Colin Farrell and his lucky belt
Lots of people have a certain memento that they believe brings them luck. In the case of handsome actor, Colin Farrell, he has two, and they’re worth quite a bit to him. The first is his lucky belt, which the superstar’s father gifted to him. When it went missing in 2011, he was so distraught that he offered a whopping $20,000 reward for its return. In addition, Farrell also has a pair of boxers given to him by his brother, which he wears on the first day of every movie shoot to ensure that everything goes smoothly.
Although celebrities might seem to have it made, it turns out that when it comes to believing in luck, they really are no different from the rest of us
